Can you tell me? I tried to read Omar Canine myself but it was too much for me." "I'm no highbrow," Trudy had laughed. "Mary is; and a fine girl, besides," she had added, resentfully.
Our American lecture audiences are, in nine cases out of ten, organised by a woman's club of some kind and drawn not from the working class, but from what shall we call it? the class that doesn't have to work, or, at any rate, not too hard.

At present I am craftily combing the remaining thatch in the middle and smoothing it out nice and flat, so as to keep those bare spots covered thinly perhaps, but nevertheless covered.
